 30c Orange Red, Perf 10
(476A). Mint N.H., Position 95, natural s.e. at bottom, very deep and
intense color, sharp proof-like impression on bright white paper, very
well-centered for this difficult stampFRESH AND FINE. AN OUTSTANDING
EXAMPLE OF THE VERY RARE 30-CENT PERF 10 WASHINGTON-FRANKLIN ON
UNWATERMARKED PAPER. In an article in Philatelic Opinions V
published by the Philatelic Foundation, William T. Crowe, head of the
Expert Committee, discusses the discovery of this rare stamp and how it
might have been issued. The production of Scott 476A occurred during the
period of transition from gauge-10 perfs to gauge 11. Bureau records do not
list a 30c printing on unwatermarked paper that was perforated 10, but the
existence of two certified panes--one bottom-right pane from Plate 6917 and
one top-right pane from Plate 6911--is evidence that the combination of new
unwatermarked paper and old 10-gauge perfs occurred, even if inadvertantly.
Stamps from these two panes (200 total), two left sheet-margin blocks of
four and a bottom plate no. 6914 single, none of which have any trace of
watermark, are the only accepted examples of Scott 476A. With 1984
